Folding a box – making a small gift box
Folding a box does not necessarily mean crafting a gift box. It is also very handy for storing small things. Otherwise, you can use a box as a gift box, as it looks much nicer than wrapping with wrapping paper. Especially at Christmas, you have numerous opportunities to fold a box in different shapes. A gift box in the shape of a heart for Valentine’s Day will look full of sweet and romantic! A small box is also perfect for the Advent Calendar or to the packaging of a money present. Even without a reason, the pretty box always arrive! A paper box is also always cheaper than buying a gift box and in most cases more practical, since you determine the size and shape yourself. Scroll down to see our creative shape suggestions and get some inspiration! For every DIY idea we have prepared a helpful step by step guide. Have fun crafting!
